'The Making Of' The Rescuers Down Under (1990) Disney Part 2

[Jarino507]

Guys...Disney really didn't lose the magic in its animated films. Princess and the Frog and Rapunzel were both spectacular, among other works. It's just Disney Channel that's gone to pieces. :I

[queen2105]

Glen Keane - GENIUS! Thanks very much for sharing this!

[KodytheRedFox]

@queen2105 He's my favorite Disney animator!

[tsjrlover]

@KodyBoy555 I suppose I do, yes.

[rYiOkUn]

Amazing. I used to think this was made a little later. I had no idea it was made in 1990!

[BlinkinFirefly]

This Disney film is one that could only be described as EPIC! Please bring back the epic to these types of movies Disney....please?....

[Nertrender]

i am really glad that they talked to the primary performers instead of voice actors.  I mean what voice talents do but it is ANIMATION after all

[californialinchen]

working for Disney must have been so much fun at that times...

[PersianButtons]

This was back when Disney movies were considered works of art.

[kirrtaiteilija]

I think this was my MOST USED VHS tape movie of all time!!! <3 <3 MY FAV :D

[quiktymevideo]

Yay, a Disney sequel actually done PROPERLY! Loved this movie since I was a kid.

[van8ryan]

@quiktymevideo >> Same here. If there were ever a classic movie I want to come to IMAX, it's this movie just to see that whole flying scene on that huge IMAX screen.

[MenollytheBeagle]

The music and animation for this film was some of the most beautiful ever!

[karrrido]

I can't believe they were doing all this before I was even born... loved this movie as a kid.. as did my parents

[richardsfinalfantasy]

Glen Keane is the best animator ever.

[WhiteLioness100]

Isn't the eagle a girl?? Or am I going crazy?

[Guyverman01]

This movie was made 20 years ago.

[pixargod]

Is that all there is to see? I was hoping that they would show behind the scenes with the voice actors.

[oopaulorafael]

2D Animation has an essence that 3D animation will NEVER have.

[AwStitch626]

i wish disney still made 2d animation films with this kind of magic :(

tho their 3d ones are great like up, that was made with disney magic indeed

but i miss animations like lionking this and in my opinion the last great disney animation Lilo and Stitch

[Dinoman217]

They don't really have golden eagles in Australia, but they do have wedge-tails!

[Dinoman217]

I've seen emus in person!

[jvfunn3000]

GREAT SEQUEL! I LOVE IT! Why didn't they have interviews with any of the voice actors? It would of been nice to hear the late George C. Scott talk about his role as McLeach!

[carlinj832000]

or john candy.

[jvfunn3000]

@carlinj832000 Yeah! It would of been nice to see John Candy talk about his role as Wilbur the Albertross Airliner! He was a good choice to voice that character!

[carlinj832000]

so you remember the movies like uncle buck or the great outdoors? which was the 1st movie that i ever saw as a child so that;s why i like john candy so much.

[carlinj832000]

and i totally respect him to this day, but john candy didnt follow an icon like chris farley did, and wasnt into doing drugs, candy was more of a family man and was just over weight.

[carlinj832000]

but than again we didnt have that kind of technologhy at that time.

[Dinoman217]

Cane toads? they're poisonous!

[KazzaLuvsByrne]

I never noticed Jake was a kanga-mouse before looool. love this film.

[imeldaDuke]

Last time i was a mermaid..^^

[carlinj832000]

who glen keane? well from an eagle, mermaid, the beast or tarzan he said it himself just like an actor the animator is assigned to a character, but than again we have the actors voicing the character, that's how we make the character.

[imeldaDuke]

I know, I just thought it sounded quite sweet! ^^

[SubaruOfTheTriad]

I was really happy when I learned both Rescuers films were out on DVD (and available on Netflix). I liked both a lot: the first Rescuers film was the confirmation of Disney's extreme skill in dramatic art, and the second was the pioneer film for Disney's foray into computer imaging in animated features.

Loved the movies, loved the characters, loved the art, loved the music, and always will.

[ZebrasFirst]

Joanna wasn't "sinister", she just did what came naturally to her...which was hunt.

[Koru]

Marahutay is one of the most fantastically animated creatures in all of Disney history. As a child I could feel myself in flight, watching her. Now older, I can even appreciate the attention paid to the detail in her wings; the imperfections that make her seem so real. Beautiful!

[Waxonator]

I was frozen today!

[Ninjerina]

I always liked this one better than the first Rescuers

[KatonNeko]

Me too.

[Naturereal]

3:19

[wolfwriter300]

Man, I want to watch this movie again! It's been ages!

[Drumfire12]

I loved Jake--Aussie awesomeness! I liked Joanna, too. I liked how she was drawn.Remember that cute dragonfly from the first film?

[carlinj832000]

yeah evinrude was his name; i remembered when my parents were looking at boat engines; my mother goes what do you know the named the engine after that character, like nope other way around.lol

[tsjrlover]

This was when Disney was still full of magic. The sequence with Cody riding the back of Marahutay is so beautiful.

[jugman21]

@tsjrlover the good old days

[KiCreativeStudios]

LOL 1:20

Kangaroo is like, "Wha'chall doin'?"

[AnimationManiac]

I love Mcleach. He's a great villain.

[carlinj832000]

unlike medusa?

[AwStitch626]

@carlinj832000 lol medusa was the bomb , i look at that film now, ha she makes me lol XD

[SPLOTCHEZ1122]

my fave supporting charcater is Jake. he is totally cool ;p lol

[vvelvettearss]

Hang on so Frank was based on a bearded dragon!!! (1:33) And not a frill-necked lizard...makes perfect sense :S

[blackanbluesjazzkiss]

no entiendo nada xd

me gustaría really xd

[gamshwfan]

It seems that animators back in those days used to aim for authenticity for their films. I don't know if that it still done today but if you want to capture the look and feel if a country or animals do some research. Very interesting stuff to hear but sometimes they go off to much on how great the animation really is that they don't mention the other parts of the production; like the new CAPS system. I'll give them 5 stars for effort, 4 stars for the film & 4 stars for this documentary.

[gamshwfan]

Well Today 11/16/08 is 18 years ago today that this wonderful film was released. It has been very much forgotten outside of Disney Fans.

[TeeboTheMightyEwok]

This is my all time favorite Disney movie. It was so epic.

[Tampanda]

I hope there are still enough of these insanely dedicated, disciplined, and freakishly intuitive people left to create another timeless epic adventure such as The Rescuers Down Under.

[colinstu]

They don't make movies like this anymore.

[Tampanda]

To put your statement in perspective, The Rescuers Down Under is a more entertaining and more immersive movie than Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

[colinstu]

Yes. I meant what I said in a good way. All the animated/3d movies just don't have the same level of effort put in. You use to have to hand draw every frame... now you spend a couple seconds in flash and bam... a million dollars. I can't even watch today's animated stuff...

[BurningArtist]

@ colinstu: Well, we can't go off putting all CG animation in the same bucket. Don't forget that it was also cause of advances that the spectacular scenes in the Rescuers Down Under could be made. I think it's all a matter of heart and vision. Pixar's movies still move me regardless of not being hand-drawn and I think it's more of a matter of feeling that's missing now a days. It really feels like it's all become solely to entertain instead of teaching and caring.

[bluestingerborg]

That's for sure.

[TheCreationist1]

Isn't it about time we had another adventure with the Rescue Aid Society? I know I'm ready for one. What say we head deep into the Amazon rainforrest for the third one. Who's with me?

[gamshwfan]

Good dramatic potential and would require a good script but it could work. All we have to do is convince Bob Newhart that accept a new co-star, find a good cast of characters and we may have a good score here. I'm in but Disney won't be in since Eva Gabor is no longer with us.

[hellogdbysarah12]

is there a such thing as a kangaroo mouse? haha, I love this movie, so cute!!!

[SQUILLA898]

Yes! They're actually a kind of rat, so basically a slightly longer face and a very substantial tail modified for balance and jumping. So... Jake's character design was a bit flawed, but most people think mice are cuter than rats, so they stuck with the mouse idea instead.

[makosharkman]

that was funny how Bernerd made willber fall off the cliff.

[Krishdish]

I'm confused. Wasn't this the first animated features to use digital paint?

[boboterrifico]

well.." I DIDN'T MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE 3rd GRADE FOR NOTHING!"

[AJFreeway]

somewhere along the line, Disney forgot how to make good animated films like this one.

[Hazafan88]

AJFreeway, I agree.

[Disneysonglover]

I also agree...

[thegnew]

is it ridiculous that the bird has a 40 ft wing span?

[AJFreeway]

LOL, yeah. but what do you want? its a cartoon movie!!!

[christianshounen101]

yoy know..do some people have a feeling the disney movies NOW don't really have that "magic" to it like they use to?

[DolphinSweetie]

I totally agree with you ChristiansHoune. My mom and I were discussing it as well. Children don't have these characters to grow up like we did. It isn't as magical.

[christianshounen101]

I wish they showed the old cartoons.I hope disney will get back to animation,I mean in the 90's(I was born in 94)they made good animations,but when 2000 came,animations became dull

[Porpentine315]

Aw i had such a crush on Jake when i was little

[RodStewartfan1]

I agree! I miss the good old Disney animated movies so much!

[KiCreativeStudios]

bring back traditional animation please!!!

[nightsdreamparadox]

Well, they ARE working on a new old-school-style animated movie now, "The Princess and the Frog" -- directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, the same duo behind "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", and "Treasure Planet".

[BeautyU2U]

True and it's about time! They need to get back to that style anyway and they should of had a black princess years ago.

[quickdisco]

loved Marahute.. grand old dame!

[Peach103]

I agree. Marahute is a sweetie. I just love her.

[yamiyugifangirl]

and...as they say in australia

"she's a beaut" i love her, she's so beautiful and graceful ^^

[calicarman]

I wasn't born yet when this movie was made.

[cartoonzrule]

Same here. I wasn't born until Aladdin came out (December 1992).

[MysticArksRevenge]

I have this movie recorded on Disney Channel in 1997 when it was good, on video tape. The problem is, I can't transfer the movie to DVD because the video tape is warped!

[Tambourines]

Oh man, I know. Our tape is warped so badly in the beginning song that it makes your ears bleed to hear it. :D

[Ookami1687]

This was the godliest disney movie ever made

[lupoistheman1]

I have always loved the Rescuers Down! I love Bernard and Biamca. I had a crush on Bianca when I was a little kid.

[switchfoot110]

I totally had a crush on her too. Prob' because she was animated so well.

This has definitely gotta be one of the best disney films.

You just don't see film making like this anymore. I miss the old disney vibe ya know?

[YanStofurst]

Did you grew up as a furry or what?

[MBpictures]

They just made that film, wasting time on HUGE research, to test the new animation system.

[essexboi1993]

Yes, I will try to put some up tonite (depending on how busy I am), but I will put the making of films such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Lady and the Tramp!

[essexboi1993]

of what film?

[Serasia]

This was a cool movie, but all those creepy mice with their needles made me scared about going to the doctor, that they were always going to stick me. ;-;

I always wondered about the eagle though....I mean....even if he's a young boy isn't the eagle really huge? I guess they had to exaggerate the size to make their story work. Thanks for uploading this :3
